Adding support for Paul Neuhaus Q-Remote

Hi, I’m trying to add support form the Paul Neuhaus Remote -> https://www.paul-neuhaus.de/shop/de/ersatzteil-fernbedienung-sender-100-462-31.html

I have added the following section to devices.js: { zigbeeModel: ['Neuhaus remote'], model: '100.462.31', vendor: 'Paul Neuhaus', description: 'Q-REMOTE radio remote control, Smart Home', supports: 'on, off, brightness up/down/stop, color temperature up/down, TODO: select RGB color, TODO: select group 1/2/3/all, TODO: select scene 1/2', fromZigbee: [ fz.genOnOff_cmdOn, fz.genOnOff_cmdOff, fz.CTR_U_brightness_updown_click, fz.CTR_U_brightness_updown_hold, fz.CTR_U_brightness_updown_release, fz.CTR_U_scene, ], toZigbee: [], }, This way the lamp seems to receive everything correctly when switching on and off, dimming up and down as well as changing the color temperature via the remote. However I think it is not correctly implemented as I cannot get it running programatically, e.g. sending MQTT commands to do the job. From my understanding I would need to implement something in toZigbee.js as the remote is sending and not receiving? This is what the logfile (debug mode) says:

Brightness down on remote:

It seems there is an undefined device but I have no clue how to pin down where it could come from.

Press “W” on the remote (change color temperature):

Any help in adding the Paul Neuhaus Q-Remote correctly to zigbee2mqtt is appreciated.

Best, Sascha

I was able to get it to work. Simply reuse the same settings for Paulmann’s RGB remote and add NLG-remote as modelid or add the below to devices.js. They seem to be identical hardware

{
    zigbeeModel: ['NLG-remote'],
    model: 'NLG-remote',
    vendor: 'Paul Neuhaus',
    description: 'RGB remote control',
    supports: 'action',
    fromZigbee: [
        fz.command_on, fz.command_off, fz.command_toggle, fz.command_step,
        fz.command_move_to_color_temp, fz.command_move_to_color, fz.command_stop,
        fz.command_move, fz.command_color_loop_set, fz.command_ehanced_move_to_hue_and_saturation,
        fz.tint404011_scene,
    ],
    toZigbee: [],
},

Hi Koen, thank you very much for the great help! I really appreciate it.

I had some hassle after branching, as the zigbee2mqtt container didn’t want to start. It complained about

Error while starting zigbee-herdsman.

The error remained regardless of which combination of zigbee-herdsman and zigbee2mqtt I tried (dev vs. latest vs. branch…)

Then I recalled, that sometimes it helped other people to remove the CC2531 from the USB port and stick it back again … and voila, that was the solution. 😃 Maybe this could/should be added in the FAQ section?

The good thing about having had this issue is that I switched to 1.7.1 stable now (with the branch for 100.462.231 you provided).

I now try to understand what the format is to implement the rest of the functionality. May take till the weekend but I’ll get back with my results.

Thanks again! Best Sascha
